Thrush
I noticed my son has thrush last Thursday
It wasn’t bad so I wasn’t sure if it was thrush or milk residue and it was mainly just on the very back of his tongue
I waited a day to see if it would go away and tried to wipe his tongue
I tried to call our online care clinic for a prescription that night but they said bc he’s so young he needed to he seen in person
Friday I call his doctors office as soon as they open
And I’m playing with him when we get there
He smiles and his tongue was so much worse
And even had like a yellow tint to it with some darker spots (almost like bluish?)
My doctor confirms that it’s thrush
Sent in a script
And I’ve been giving him his meds
Doing exactly what she said
Half the dose on one side, the other half on the other side of his cheek
Taking a q tip and rubbing the medicine along his tongue and the Top of his mouth
4 times a day.
Waiting at least 30 minutes to feed him again
She said she wasn’t going to treat me unless it didn’t go away or only got worse (breast fed) because I didn’t have symptoms
It hasn’t gone away
And I’ve done everything I know to prevent it
I’ve boiled all of his pacifiers like at least every other day
He doesn’t use bottles
I barely ever wear a shirt so I barely have pads on to have to change them often
Are there any other things that I can do that I’m not thinking of?
Im going to ask my doctor at my check up today if she can prescribe me something
But I’m afraid of it getting worse
